Love that they are making Mass Effect 4 The idea of playing another race could be cool, however, I would be happy playing as a human once again with another story to tell in this huge galaxy, I wouldn't even mind playing as the Son/Daughter of Shepard (We all did those sex scenes.. and I don't know about Ya'll but I never used any protection Haha.) What ever happens, excited about the news of them making another game!.

I'm with you guys, hate the idea of it moving away from 3rd person, so hopefully they keep that how it is.

Will the original Mass Effect be available as a standalone game on PlayStation 3?
Yes, the original Mass Effect will be available as a standalone digital title through the PlayStation Network for $14.99. It will release the same day as the Mass Effect Trilogy on PlayStation 3.
